ORIGINALS: HOW
NON-CONFORMISTS
MOVE THE WORLD
By Adam Grant
Adam Grant first made waves when he
became the youngest-ever tenured profes-
sor at the Wharton School while still in his
twenties. Today, Grant has been recognized
as Wharton's top-rated teacher for four
straight years and his first book, Give and
Take, was a New York Times bestseller. Grant's
second business book, Originals: How Non-
Conformists Move the World, is out now and
with rave reviews by Malcolm Gladwell, Sir
Richard Branson, and Arianna Huffington
is already shaping up to be one of the top
business books of the year.

encompasses. First, he talked about accom-
plishments among the government-sponsored
enterprises since the establishment of the
conservatorship. Second, Watt provided a
future outlook on some of the challenges
and risks associated with the conservator

#HARPNOW
Last month the Federal Housing Finance
Agency (FHFA) kicked off a new social media
campaign, #HARPNow, aimed at raising
awareness of the Home Affordable Refinance
Program, or HARP, before it expires on
December 31. The FHFA will be using the
hashtag across Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube
in conjunction with @FHFA. The FHFA
announced that it is particularly trying to
market the program in the top 10 states with
the greatest concentration of HARP-eligible
borrowers—Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio,
Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New York, and Maryland.
